Up On My Toes!

I like Kim Crawford white wine, but it's next to impossible to get around here. I think the supplier ran out or something. I don't know a thing about wine, but I do like a nice (i.e, non-vinegary) tasting white wine.

Oh no she di-int!!

I love trying different wines and used to belong to a wine of the month club at a local shop where you pay $45/month and they pick out two bottles, one around $30 and one around $15 so you get to build your collection and try things you might not have thought of.

I love Pinot Grigios and Pinot Gris for white, and a good zin or syrah/shiraz for red.

This will be a good thread....I could use some advice on what to buy.

If u have any vineyards around your house or local wineries they are great to go to because you can go there and taste what they have and it helps to figure out what type of wine you like!!! The only thing with wineries is that they dont have preservatives in their wine which is great...when u purchase wine from like a wine and spirit they are all loaded with preservative because they have to have a long shelf life since they are being shipped from around the world...so thats one great thing about a winery!!! Also its a lot of fun to go and taste wine and try different things and then u know what you like so when u do go to a wine and spirits u can try different stuff. Before I started working at my winery i usto only drink white wine...and now from working there i LOVE red wine...so now when i go out to dinner i know what type of reds i like so i can order them. Because before i would never know what to order cause i didnt know much about the taste of reds!!!

but you should definatly check out your local wineries if u have any!! also the winery i work at we ship wine...so u can also call out of state wineries and see if they ship wine too!!

It is fairly oaky...I love that though. Im so curious what you do not like about Opus? It is one of my all time fav reds...What is yours?

i dont know for some reason the opus one just didnt do anything for me....dont get me wrong is was a good wine but i wouldnt opt for it for the price of it...i think there was a lot of hype for it when i had it so maybe thats why i wasnt so sure about it....i would like to try it again and see if i have changed my mind!!!

i love dry reds...im from pa and the area i live in has some really nice grapes here so i do drink alot of the reds from my winery or local ones around my house. But i llove zin'z and chiantis....theres one called seven deadly zins from the Lodi winery and its really really good!!
